Organization: ASTM
Publication Date: 1 September 2015
Status: active
Page Count: 28
ICS Code (Wood, sawlogs and sawn timber): 79.040
scope:

These test methods cover the evaluation of lumber and wood-based products in structural sizes by various testing procedures.

Notations and symbols relating to the various testing procedures are given in Appendix X1. 

The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
